And a HUGE congrats to our winner, Violet Rose!!!!!!!!!! She designed an interactive card- you have to open it to see the entire sentiment! You have to see her other photos- the sentiment on the front is a die cut window to reveal the word inside! WOW!

You don't have to use that specific color... but the challenge is that you have to have green on your project (any amount, any shade, any where on your project)! Be on the lookout for that post on March 1st!

We hope to inspire you to get crafty with our PS products, and we would love it if you join in the fun!!!

I was thinking of how fun it is that our design team is spread across the US. Each heart represents one of our designers in their home state (not their city). I appreciate our designers so incredibly much <3

And here is my card...

I used a new shaped card die called Cat Dog Card Die,

BUT, I wanted to create an owl, so I used different dies from this super fun set that's shown below my card

The sentiment is from our Hooties stamp set.

The possibilities are endless...There are shapes that can be used as smiles or eyebrows. The shape that I used for the owl feathers is a tongue but it can also be used as hands to hold the card.

Our team is so super awesome that I cannot wait to show you what their clever minds came up with.

March will be FULL of inspiration!

In 1956, a magician was performing the “cut a person in half” trick using his wife for a televised performance. Immediately after she was divided, the host ended the show. People were horrified, thinking she had been killed, but time had just run out on the broadcast.
